Euro Paper Talk: Chelsea to exploit Barcelona woes with stunning raid for star; Villa move for electric Lazio attacker
Chelsea are looking to sign a Barcelona talent to supply Romelu Lukaku for goals, Everton have approached Espanyol over a star man, while Monday’s Euro Paper Talk claims Aston Villa will launch a huge bid to sign an exciting Lazio attacker.
ANSU FATI MOVE NEXT FOR CHELSEA
Chelsea have approached Barcelona over a shock deal to sign Ansu Fati, according to reports in Spain.
With a deal for Romelu Lukaku seemingly close, Thomas Tuchel is now turning his attention to players who can supply chances for the Belgian.
And as per Todofichajes, the Blues have already made their move to bring teenage winger Fati to Stamford Bridge.
The Spain international has already been the subject of strong links with Manchester United. However, the Red Devils’ signing of Jadon Sancho means they won’t be in the market any time soon for Fati.
However, the Spanish outlet claims there is a good chance that 18-year-old Fati could be on the move this summer. As per Todofijaches, Fati is unhappy with the terms of the new contract put before him at Barcelona.
Barca reportedly see Fati as the heir apparent to the departing Lionel Messi.
However, with their financial issues gripping tighter than ever, they have been unable to agree a new deal with the teenager.
As such, it’s now claimed his agent is actively looking to move his client on.
It’s claimed both Chelsea and Bayern Munich have made moves to sign Fati.
However, it’s Chelsea who hold all the aces. Furthermore, they claim Tuchel could make room in his side for Fati with Callum Hudson-Odoi, Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech set to move on.
